Manufacturers and die & mold shops can annihilate chatter problems in several milling operations with Iscar's new Chatterfree carbide endmill. The cutters' variable-pitch flute pattern annihilates harmonic vibration, the foremost source of chatter. This facilitates faster cutting and finer finish in rough or finish slotting, shoulder milling and cavity milling. In addition, customers also report longer edge life due to reduced chatter. The chatter-free capability is available in both solid carbide endmills and tips in Iscar's MULTI-MASTER replaceable-tip family. Diameter range is 6 to 20mm for the solid carbide endmills, and 8 to 20mm for MULTI-MASTER tips. These completely new endmills are ideal for lower power machines with ISO40 or BT40 adaptations. The solid carbide construction can deal with full slot machining up to 2xD. Depth capability on the replaceable-tip variant is more bounded since the active length is shorter. In full slotting operations on alloy steel, the solid carbide version effectively handles 0.03-0.05 feed rates at 180-220mm/min surface speed and 2xD depth of cut.

FINISHRED - Revolutionary Solid Carbide Endmills

Iscar is announcing the EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. Finishred a revolutionary solid carbide endmill family. The Finishred carbide endmill is a blending of both roughing and finishing endmills in a single tool. Roughing endmills remove material from work pieces more quickly and proficiently than ordinary endmills. Nevertheless, roughing endmills leave grooves on the machined surface. In consequence, after using a roughing endmill, a finishing endmill has to be used in order to obtain a even surface finish. This means time-consuming tool change, setup time and essentialness of maintaining two endmill types in the inventory.

Features of the Finishred Endmills:

The EFR.. B44 and the MM EFS.. endmills feature four flutes with 45 degree helix, 2 serrated flutes and two continuous flutes.

The cutting edges of the finishing flutes are radially further from the tool axis than the cutting edges of the serrated flutes. The finishing flutes eliminate the grooves caused by the roughing flutes, leaving a smooth surface finish.

The tool is fully competent and enables running at rough machining parameters, ending in finish surface quality.

The unique tool design lessens vibration at high load applications.

The tool generates short and long chips concurrently. This chip mixture is evacuated more readily than each individual chip type, an remarkable solution in slotting and cavity milling applications.

The Finishred is also offered with the Multi-Master indexable milling head option which combines the Finishred incorporates with the benefit of little setup time, no regrinding costs and the wide range of shank and extension choices are available for the Multi-Master milling heads.

A single tool substitutes the roughing and finishing endmills; therefore downsizing stock.

Tool change and setup time can be disregarded.

An extra tool position is gained on the machine

New Chip Splitting Solid Carbide Endmills for Elevated Metal Removal Rates

ISCAR is introducing the ECP-3/4L family of chip splitting endmills. The completely new endmills are obtainable with three and 4 38 degree flutes in grade IC900. They feature 2xD and long shanks with downsized neck diameter, which allow machining along high shoulders, at high feeds. These endmills, due to their chip splitting element and force distribution can be used very comfortably on reduced power machines (CAT40/BT40/ISO40). The serrated cutting edge features flat peaks which leave a better surface finish, in contrast to the current rougher carbide endmill. The ECP endmills are endorsed for machining austenitic and martensitic stainless steel, at up to 2xD depth of cut. They can be used on alloyed steel as well. All of the preliminary tests conducted at several customers' locations showed exceptional results.

Completely New Tools And Carbide Insert Arrangements From Iscar To Better The Machining Procedure
Iscar is introducing Penta 34 carbide inserts with a new PB chipformer. The PB chipformer features a single cavity with a positive rake, neutral shoulder angle, and a honed edge. It is actually a C-type chipformer with a different frontal edge.
